i had a set on my series one turbo cabby,i used 205/40/16 tyres,i found the 215,s catch slightly on full lock,dont use standard wheel bolts they are no good,ive seen somebody put some sierra or fiesta wheel nut washers on,but then your standard wheel bolts only screw in a couple of threads,thats dangerous and could easily rip out at speed cornering.
i managed to get hold of some ford bolts with the right size colars on but unsure wot car they were from, i was using koni adjustables,i found the standard suspension was no good and not stiff enough to prevent the arches catching.
hope this helps

heres a couple of pics of the bolt you need,the one on the left is a standard (rs turbo/xr3i) alloy wheel bolt,and the one on the right shows the sort you need with the bigger colar!
the second pic i took just for the hell of it to show you wot it looks like without the colar as they come off,however they dont come off on the standard bolts.
some people put the bigger colar on standard bolts say from a sierra or fiesta,but thats dangerous because by the time they have gone through the wheel and disc theres only a couple of threads holding the wheel on!!
shown in the 3rd pic ive put the washer over the standard bolt,now compare it too the pic above.
trouble is i dont know wot car they are from(on the right)
does anybody else have any idea?????

Falken tyres are good for these rims mate, there sidewalls on the tyre itself seem to 'angle' back in abit more over other tyres, we used these on my mates Fiesta and it was a good improvement!
You'll need all the space you can get with the offset and width of an Escos rim!

What you need is a set of 60deg Wheel Bolts with removable collar from Grayston, a UK bolt manufacturer.
They call them 'Ghia' wheel bolts.

You can get them from Rally Design.

Go direct through Grayston then mate.
The bolt is listed in WHEELBOLTS down at the bottom in it's own Ford bit.
FORD GHIA WHEEL BOLTS - CHROME PLATED
12mm - 1.5 with 60° Ghia washer 19mm.....HEX Part No SB31
12mm - 1.5 Bolt only 19mm.......................HEX Part No SB51

This page below take you to their ordering page.

Alternative is to give Rally Design a call. I'm guessing they're going to be slightly more expensive than Grayston though.
